Electronic Cerebrectomy: Anyone Else Remember These?

Tuesday, April 06, 2010

I notice kids these days think the time before remote controls for cable boxes is largely mythical.

Dr. Monkey Von Monkerstein said...: I remember those. I also remember the only reason to get cable was because you couldn't get reception through the air.; 5:49 PM
Roger Owen Green said...: Goodness, yes, and I thought they were SO cool.; 6:00 PM
DrGoat said...: Yeah. And you could wait for over a year to see a particular movie on the 4 channels we had. And if it wasn't the Wizard of Oz, you waited longer.; 6:09 PM
Some Guy said...: We had one just like it. For some reason I remember the movie "The Incredible Shrinking Woman" with Lily Tomlin being on all the time in the early days of HBO.; 6:15 PM
Megan said...: I have been searching for a while to see if I could find a picture of what our first one looked like. So far, no dice...; 9:34 PM
Jason said...: I remember those... haven't seen or thought about them in a verrrrrrrry long time, though.

Some Guy, the movies I recall being on HBO all the time are Escape from New York and The Sword and the Sorcerer. Those were good times. :); 7:00 PM
